NPS History 101
This essay details my experience in developing and teaching a course concerning the history of the National Park Service for students enrolled in Temple University’s ProRanger Program. I offer this account as a pedagogical case study, but also as evidence that educational partnerships between the agency and college classrooms can help us imagine new possibilities for both. Most significant, for the NPS, is the possibility of grooming a new genera…

Specifically at issue are the priorit…
Inventing George Washington
Research George Washington and you will find yourself wishing for an authoritative guide through the tangle of myths that pass for his public memory. Edward G. Lengel has compiled just that. Inventing George Washington traces “the means by which [Washington myths] have defined and redefined the Founder” since his death (p. xviii). This goal, more than any argument, pits Lengel against a pantheon of tall tales, ranging from rumors of a loveless ma…
